To all recommending or looking to purchase 90’s Linn models I encourage you to verify the laser can be replaced. Yes, Linn CD players were some of the best. However, I had (note past tense) an $11k Linn Unidisc 1.1. Wonderful sounding unit until the laser burnt out. According to Linn, Linn’s local dealer, and a local repair shop, the laser was custom. Linn was not supplying lasers. Linn stated they moved on to streaming devices. I never explored what custom meant - a modification of an OTS OEM laser or a true custom design. Regardless, after 10 years of service it was scrap. I personally will never buy Linn again. Verify the model you choose has either on OTS OEM laser that can be replaced or if Linn is servicing them. Perhaps this was unique to the Unidisc 1.1.
